Nine-year-old Mireya Solan is torn between her love of painting and her nascent piano skills—until she uncovers a magical easel in her grandmother’s attic. Every brushstroke instantly conjures musical notes from an upright piano, and soon she enlists neighbor Oswin Tarel, a budding percussionist, to explore the colorful harmony between art and sound. From sweeping washes that serenade like legato melodies to dry-brush dabs that snap like staccato drums, their experiments lead to a show-stopping spring festival installation. Canvas of Sound invites young readers into a world where creativity knows no boundaries—where color becomes music, and every masterpiece sings.
